From staff reports
BETHANY Bethany College marked its 181st year March 4 with a digital convocation that celebrated founder Alexander Campbell’s accomplishments while examining his flaws.
Historian Douglas A. Foster, author of “A Life of Alexander Campbell,” spoke of how a culture of Christian nationalism, domestic terrorism and white supremacist racism influenced Campbell’s thinking.
“In Campbell’s day and in ours, these three things were interwoven, forming a web of strands that influence and drive the others,” Foster said.
Foster is a scholar in residence at Abilene Christian University, where he was a full-time professor for more than 25 years. His book was published in June and is considered the first critical biography of Campbell.
